WARNING: "Final" Psy-Op Vs. Syria Begins

March 29, 2013 (LD) - Out of time, out of legitimacy, and out of options, the West is attempting once again to prop up its faltering terrorist proxies with another psychological operation aimed at breaking the will of the Syrian people, despite the West's multiplying tactical and political shortcomings. It began with a suspicious CBS News/AP report titled, "AP: "Master plan" underway to help Syria rebels take Damascus with U.S.-approved airlifts of heavy weapons," which claims to divulge a "covert" plan by the West to flood Syria's northern and southern borders with increased weapons and fighters for a "final" push to take the capital. The article would claim:

Mideast powers opposed to President Bashar Assad have dramatically
stepped up weapons supplies to Syrian rebels in coordination with the
U.S. in preparation for a push on the capital of Damascus, officials and
Western military experts said Wednesday.

A carefully
prepared covert operation is arming rebels, involving Jordan, Saudi
Arabia, Turkey and Qatar, with the United States and other Western
governments consulting, and all parties hold veto power over where the
shipments are directed, according to a senior Arab official whose
government is participating. His account was corroborated by a diplomat
and two military experts.

One must question why the Western media would boldly declare to the world what is supposed to be a "covert" operation, if such an operation had any tactical chance of succeeding - unless of course, the announcement was designed to either cover for wide-scale Western special operations inside Syria, or to help achieve a psychological victory (or both) - to induce panic and terror across the Syrian population in tandem with recent, and increasingly barbaric terrorist attacks on Syria's civilians.

Now, echos of NATO's spectacularly failed July 2012 "Operation Damascus Volcano" - where the Western media coordinated a propaganda blitzkrieg designed to portray Syria as on the verge of collapsing with Aleppo and Damascus' fall "imminent," are appearing once again in the headlines. Just a day after CBS/AP's announcement of the so-called "covert Master Plan," the Western media is reporting "rebel gains" including the alleged cutting off of Daara in Syria's south - meant to foreshadow the once again "inevitable fall" of Damascus. AFP cited the discredited "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" in their article, "Syria rebels seize town on key highway to south: NGO," that:

"Rebels seized control of Dael after destroying the three army
checkpoints at the entrances to the town," the Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights said. "The town is located on a main road linking Daraa to
Damascus."

The Britain-based watchdog said that a child was among 10 civilians killed in the fighting for the town over the past 24 hours.

At least 15 rebels and a media activist working with them were also killed, as were 12 loyalist troops, it added.

"Large swathes of Daraa (province) are now under rebel control. Their
advance in the south is escalating," Observatory director Rami Abdel
Rahman told AFP.

In actuality, the so-called "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" is a single opposition propagandists, Rami Abdel
Rahman, based in a comfortable countryside home in the UK, disingenuously masquerading as a human rights organization. When not feeding the biased-hungry Western media, Rami Abdel Rahman can be found scurrying in and out of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London to meet with Britain's Foreign Secretary, William Hague.

....

Reuters had even admitted in their December 2011 article, "Coventry - an unlikely home to prominent Syria activist," that "Rami Abdulrahman," is openly part of the Syrian opposition who seeks the end of the Syrian government. Abdulrahman admits that he had left Syria over 10 years ago, has lived in Britain ever since, and will not return until "al-Assad goes."

This facade is fully sanctioned by the Western media which despite acknowledging him as a biased, compromised source, consistently misrepresents him to their audience as a credible "human rights organization," while almost exclusively deferring to him to lend credibility to their otherwise baseless narratives.

The Syrian people have resisted the collective efforts of the US, UK, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and their regional partners for 2 years, and have defeated at least two previous psychological operations aimed at toppling the government and destroying the country. The tides have shifted across public opinion, and evidence that the West has intentionally sought to arm and direct sectarian extremists against the Syrian nation since at least 2007, are reaching a crescendo.

While the West now openly admits it is working directly with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and NATO-member Turkey to supply thousands of tons of weapons to militants in Syria, it cannot explain how else Al Qaeda's Al Nusra front has become the best armed and most well equipped front in the conflict - unless these thousands of tons of weaponry were sent directly to them, as was intended to begin with, according to Seymour Hersh's 2007 article, "The Redirection: Is the Administration’s new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism?" which reported:

To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush
Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in
the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has coöperated with
Saudi Arabia’s government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations
that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is
backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations
aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has
been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant
vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.

A window is closing, and the West is resorting to dangerous desperation. Syria and its allies, as well as concerned interests around the world, must be more vigilant and resilient than ever. The tell-tale signs of a psychological operation are there - but for a psychological operation to succeed, a nation's people must not be prepared or aware that it is coming. By raising awareness of this most recent, insidious attempt at snatching a psychological victory from the jaws of a tactical defeat, we can help quicken the day when the West's war machine finally stumbles and falls, giving the people of Syria their lives back.
